Sleep With Me

I’ll do some binoculing and tree-spotting as I take in the view of a bucket list balcony. But mostly, I’ll be here to keep you company as we find the path to dreamland. This episode was recorded on location and contains ambient noise (distant music, HVAC sounds, other voices, etc.).

All right, everybody, it's time to talk about tonight's sponsor, Talkiatry. And if you're here at this podcast, you might be looking for some extra help, right? It's not just a rough patch. It's something you need real tools for, and maybe even more than self-help or just talk therapy. Talkiatry connects you with real psychiatric care, so you can actually understand what's going on and get a treatment plan that works. Because a lot of times, trying to figure out how to get the right mental health treatment can feel overwhelming. And especially if you've got something you're dealing with on top of that, Talkiatry helps you move from, I know this is something I really need help with, to actually having a psychiatrist who listens and gives you a clear, professionalized treatment plan. And I know for me or the people in my life, that's what I want. But I know that in practice, it's not easy to take the steps necessary. And there's a lot of obstacles in the way. And that's where Talkiatry comes in. Talkiatry is 100% online psychiatry practice that provides comprehensive evaluations, diagnoses and ongoing medication management for whatever conditions you're dealing with. Unlike therapy only platforms, Talkiatry is psychiatry. You're seeing a medical provider who can diagnose mental health conditions and provide medication when it's appropriate. All 800 plus clinicians are in network with major insurers, so you can use your existing insurance instead of paying monthly subscriptions or out of network costs. And because you continue with the same provider, you're not starting over each visit. Your treatment can evolve with you, so you're actually making progress over time. More than 300,000 patients have already found high quality psychiatric care through Talkiatry. Head to talkiatry.com/sleep to complete the short assessment and get matched with an in-network psychiatrist in just a few minutes. That's talkiatry.com/sleep to get matched in minutes. talkiatry.com/sleep. Thanks everybody. All right, everybody, this is Scoots. I'm coming to In Bed. I am getting comfortable. And I said, I'm going to record this spot for Helix Sleep from the bed I love. Do you love the mattress you're listening to the show in right now? Absolutely love it like I do because my Helix fits my sleep needs. Does the mattress you're in suit you? Because what happened for me is I took that Helix quiz at helixsleep.com/sleep and I got matched with a mattress that fits me. I sleep on my side. I sleep on my stomach. I don't want to wake up with aches and pains. And I like to sleep cool. I don't want to overheat. And so when I took the Helix quiz again at helixsleep.com/sleep, I got matched with the perfect mattress with me in mind. I didn't have to go to a store. I didn't have to have a salesperson watch me. No, I got to tell Helix how I like to sleep and they matched me with the perfect mattress and I love the bed so much. It's like, let me record from bed. And then when you get your Helix, it comes with 100 night sleep trial, a limited lifetime warranty. It comes straight to your door with free shipping in the US. It's got a happy with Helix guarantee so you can rest easy with seamless returns and exchanges and you deserve the best night's sleep possible. You owe it yourself. So go over there and take the quiz because not only are you going to match with an amazing mattress, Helix is going to offer you a special deal. And they got an amazing deal right now.

Thanks, everybody.
Friends beyond the binary, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, it's time for the podcast and the podcasters here to keep you company, take your mind off the stuff.
From a balcony, overlooking some stuff, I'm here to be your friend in the deep dark night. Welcome to Sleep With Me, the podcast that's here to help you fall asleep. If you're new, every episode we put out is a little bit different. And this is a show to be your friend in the deep dark night. Kind of see how it goes if you're new.
This particular episode, I'll just be observing stuff from a hotel balcony in a very relaxed way.
